Love the male and female lead, together and separately, there are so many regular Hallmark leads I get tired of seeing, or they rub me the wrong way, or the chemistry is bad etc. And ironically, I don't like the 'boyfriend' as an actor and well he always plays the a hole types, but he does them so well lol. My only criticism is that even for Hallmark, she seriously can't be that obtuse that douche boyfriend does one narcissistic thing after another and yet she still professes profusely to be committed to him. Hallmark doesn't tend to delve into abusive relationship dynamics. Which is the relationship she's in. So I suggest they either jump in both feet and address the subject, or not make her that stubbornly in love with such a narcissistic personality. And/or tone down his tendencies. Without actually broaching the subject or making it part of the story, you can't make it believable. Hallmark is supposed to be fairy-talish and light. OK? So dear writers, again, tone down boyfriend's narcissism, recommendation number one, recommendation two, she dumps him sooner but then you don't have a 90 minute story.
